Is this pay more now for a lower interest rate? To compare it to bonds, imagining I can sell my own bonds: To raise the same amount of money issuing a bond with a 3% coupon now vs. issuing one with a 7% coupon now, I'd have to issue m

To add to mixing... just the right amount of water. Stronger or weaker for a cordial is simply stronger or weaker. But more or less water for Ribena is a question of right or wrong ; that's why it's never quite right when going

I feel Ribena's so baked in to British psychology it's not seen as a cordial. Orange, lime, and blackcurrant cordials are cordials. Ribena's just Ribena. It's mixed with water almost exclusively, lemonade at a push, but

The article appears to be a beef about moderator structure and the author's perception of a Biden bias over an article they hand-picked. The revenue and expense statement, the subject heading an entirely misleading heading given the

An international perspective, related to cited educational use - iPads are huge in Asia for private schools. Chromebooks barely register. An additional $500 over 3 years won't register much in terms of total private education costs;

I read this on repec a few months ago. Interesting seeing it here. A better title: Economist points out some economists had been using a dodgy source; cites other economists who had pointed this out adding to literature of checking citation

One is seasoning aromatics, the second is making a more even veg coating than seasoning at the end does; stirfry vegetables at a high heat won't release water thus won't have a 'sauce' to carry seasoning across the surfa

The basics never end. There is no strict vertical. When you stir-fry vegetables, salt the oil before adding the aromatics. That's basic. How many years was it until I figured that out? How many pro chefs have never figured that out

I feel similar. Just a feel. Perhaps based on different priors, certainly different 'lived' experiences. Or prions. Why do yours fire that way? Can you explain it, meatpuppet? You only exist in my head, after all, as does everythi

Why don't we have slower air travel? Eighty years ago we didn't have laptops to work from, or global connectivity. Now, we do. I'm thinking about total time , not only the travel time part . Thinking total time , I can l

Why not just make a front-end for PGP, have users keys publicly available, and an 'invite others' thing for those with undiscoverable keys. That would then actually be email rather than not-email-over-smtp. Another service delegat

When running through what meta data to give in the header of a page, I found the 'twitter' stuff... kinda presumptuous(?)... that Twitter would request it's own special meta data. But then when it was acquired by Musk I remem
